Points per game, titles and UCL success: the numbers that led Conceicao to Milan | OneFootball

Sergio Conceicao has been announced as the new manager of AC Milan and although fans know him well, following the links in the summer, taking a look at his managerial record again doesn’t hurt.

The 50-year-old has been out of contract since the summer, when he left Porto following the appointment of Andre Villas-Boas as the new club president. He was heavily linked with Milan in the weeks prior, but the Rossoneri opted for his compatriot Paulo Fonseca instead.

On Monday, Milan announced the appointment of Conceicao and given the aforementioned links, most Rossoneri fans know him well already. That being said, it’s still good to remind ourselves of his data, more specifically the average points per game (via Transfermarkt).

From the above, it’s clear that most of his success was achieved at Porto and while that could be considered as a con, it should also be noted that he was there for seven years. Any manager who makes it that long, at a demanding club mind you, has done something right.

With Porto, he also managed to reach the Champions League knockout phase in five out of seven seasons, going as far as the quarter-finals twice. Adding three league titles, four cup titles and one Supercup title to that, it’s clear why Milan chose him to replace Fonseca.
